ntopng vs Tinylytics: at a glance
What is ntopng?
ntopng 7.0 adds an AI traffic analyst, Wazuh integration and BGP in one release.
ntopng 7.0 arrived in September, ten months after 6.6. nAnalyst brings AI chat, policies, dashboards and an agentic loop across multiple LLM providers, with an MCP server included. The release also adds Wazuh XDR/SIEM integration, a Sites hierarchy, BGP/BMP with RPKI validation, a ClickHouse timeseries engine, OpenID Connect SSO, MFA and passkeys, and a new Vue.js frontend replacing legacy pages.
What is Tinylytics?
Tinylytics adds account-wide IP ignores and monitoring-only sites
Tinylytics now lets users ignore IP addresses across all their sites at once and switch a site to monitoring only, with new embed options. October brought a simpler embed script, exclusion of cloud-network and Tor traffic, an Ultra-only SEO audit that uses an AI model to rank fixes, and automatic form tracking.

◆ Current state
ntopng 7.0 arrived in September, ten months after 6.6. nAnalyst brings AI chat, policies, dashboards and an agentic loop across multiple LLM providers, with an MCP server included. The release also adds Wazuh XDR/SIEM integration, a Sites hierarchy, BGP/BMP with RPKI validation, a ClickHouse timeseries engine, OpenID Connect SSO, MFA and passkeys, and a new Vue.js frontend replacing legacy pages.
◆ Where it's heading
Each major has annexed an adjacent category, and 7.0 reaches for three at once: AI-assisted analysis, SIEM-adjacent security and routing visibility. ClickHouse is now the assumed foundation, and nAnalyst requires it. The licensing line is also explicit, with nAnalyst limited to enterprise M and above and the MCP functions split between community and pro.
◆ Prediction
Point releases should focus on nAnalyst and the new frontend, the two largest and least mature surfaces. The next major, on past spacing, is about a year off and likely extends the same analysis and security surfaces.

5.0ANALYTICS
Tinylytics adds account-wide IP ignores and monitoring-only sites
◆ Current state
Tinylytics now lets users ignore IP addresses across all their sites at once and switch a site to monitoring only, with new embed options. October brought a simpler embed script, exclusion of cloud-network and Tor traffic, an Ultra-only SEO audit that uses an AI model to rank fixes, and automatic form tracking.
◆ Where it's heading
Most recent releases are about cleaner numbers: bot filtering, network exclusions and now account-level IP rules. The SEO audit and MCP tooling are the only moves outside that, both on the higher plans.
◆ Prediction
More account-level settings that apply across sites are likely, following the IP rules; the entries do not show a new product area coming.
